Well, it usually takes medication or surgery. It depends on what part of your system is affected. If that doesn't work, your doctor will recommend a speech therapist that could help you find new ways to swallow and help you exercise your esophagus, Log in or Register to read more… |

I think that your mother in law is suffering from achalasia.
The dysphagia is only one part of achalasia, but your mother-in-law also suffers from vomitting and chest pains, which would suggest achalasia. Achalasia affects your esophagus and is characterized by the failure to relax.

Has your mother in law consulted with a gastro doctor? These symptoms sound like a stomach issues even though she is having chest pain. She only has chest pain when she eats? She should definitely consult with a gastroenterologist if she hasn't already.
